miss honduras

Monica Elwin, Miss Honduras 2013, visited Paya Bay this afternoon. Eighteen-year-old Monica is from Oak Ridge, Roatan, the town where both she and I were born and grew up (right across the island from Paya). This engaging, beautiful young lady will represent Honduras at the upcoming 2013 Miss World pageant in Bali, Indonesia. Ms. Elwin was intrigued by The Black Iguana, our (coming soon!) beach bar. The photos that follow were taken as she explored the new facility overlooking Bliss Beach.

Proud, charmed, and impressed, I requested a photo with our local celebrity. Best wishes as you represent our country at the Miss World competition, Monica! There are no limits but the sky!

"Life is all about perspective. Amazing thing is, we have 100% control over the angle from which we view people, things, events, and circumstances. Sometimes a minor shift of a degree or two can make all the difference. If Life is not rosy for you, question your perspective. After all, with 360 degrees in a circle, there are at least that many possible perspectives on anything. Thinking three-dimensionally, one quickly realizes that the number of possible perspectives on any one life event or circumstance is infinite and - most likely - beyond our immediate comprehension. In this Universe of infinite possibilities, the possibilities we choose become our reality. We must choose wisely."

The highest in me bows to the highest in you. May this be the happiest day of your life.

And so it is.
